A Novel Method for Generation of Quantum Radar Signature Based on Photons-number Expected-value Modulation (PnEvM)

Quantum radar is one of the topics that has been studied in the field of quantum applications in recent years, and of course, it faces many design and implementation challenges. Since the waveform design is very important in various radar problems, the design of the waveform and the quantum signature is also very important in quantum radars and can be the basis for the design of the transmitter, receiver and even the overall mechanism of the quantum radar. Considering that a comprehensive and standard design for quantum radar has not been introduced in the world so far, paying attention to the design of quantum signature for radar can be the key to entering the very challenging topic of quantum radar design. For this purpose, in this article, a novel method for generating quantum radar signature is presented from a theoretical point of view, which is based on the Linear Frequency Modulation (LFM) waveform in classical radar.
